Sassuolo will be looking to record three successive Serie A wins for the first time since March when they play host to Monza on Monday.
The hosts have effortlessly avoided relegation in every Italian top flight season since their promotion from Serie B in the 2012/13 season. However, the Black and Greens had a nervous start to the current season, suffering defeats in their first two matches without scoring a goal. Looking at their performances in recent games, it fair to say that was a good wake-up call for Alessio Dionisi’s men. They beat Juventus last weekend before shocking Inter Milan at San Siro in midweek with another win.
Monza, surprisingly, finished above Sassuolo in the Italian top flight rankings last season. Raffaele Palladino's men have not been able to keep up with the pace of top flight football, winning just one of their six games so far. That said, the visitors can be hard to beat on a good day as they enter with a run of three consecutive draws.
Sassuolo vs Monza Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Sassuolo's biggest weakness last season was their defence: the black and greens conceded the fourth most goals in Italy's top division. This problem has not yet been solved, which is best explained by the fact that they have conceded at least two goals in five of their six league games so far. Each of their last four games ended with at least three goals.
Monza's defending away from home so far this season has also been far from perfect. The visitors conceded an average two goals per game over the course of their three away games played so far. In addition, they also conceded at least two goals in four of their last five visits to Stadio Città del Tricolore.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Sassuolo team news
Sassuolo did not suffer any injuries in the win against Inter Milan in midweek, so it would be no surprise if coach Alessio Dionisi stays true to his starting eleven.
Nedim Bajrami scored his first goal of the season in that game, while Domenico Berardi scored his fourth goal of the season.
Agustín Álvarez has been out since May with a cruciate ligament injury but the hosts don't have any other issues.

Monza team news
Monza are expected to be without the services of Davide Bettella after the centre back picked up an ankle injury in training.
The 23-year-old is joined on the visitors’ injured list by Gianluca Caprari who is nursing a cruciate ligament injury, but otherwise boss Raffaele Palladino has no fresh injury concerns.
